The first settlers ofthis portion of the backwoods of SouthCarolina found the spot a quagmire,and known to the Indians as a "deer-.lick." It was soon noticeable to ?them, loo, that the cows loved tobrowse around it, and lap the water ithat Settled here and there amid the ?black mud in little pools. From thepeculiar smell pervading the mud, itcame to be designated as the "Suiphar Swamp."This section then belonged to NorthCarolin?, and was tn MecklenburgCounty. For many years after theState lines were established it wasknown as the "New Acquisition "We find it constantly so called in theDocumentary History of the Revolu?tion. Later on it took the name of$inety-Six District, but finally the ,quagmire fell into the lower edge o? ia county laid off and named Spartan- !burg.The curative qualities of the spot !were revealed by a commonplace ac- ;C?dent.

He: went home to let his father see his im: provement, but returned in a shortwhile, and remained, steadily drinkingtue water for five mouths. At the end; of this ;ime he felt himself perfectly re?stored to health ; he entered on theactive life of a country doctor, andcontinued in this career until an ad?vanced ag??, without any return of thedisease that had so seriously menacedhim an ea; ly death.lt was this notable cure, which for! mutated the idea of a stock companyinto a reality. The charter was obtained in 1S3? under the name of"The Glenn** Spring Company; ' Dr.Maurice A Moore, President.

The season, however,was too short, and the expenditureshad been too lavish lor pecuniary suc?cess, and after about five brilliant so?cial seasons at the Spa, the companyfound themselves well nigh insolvent,and the property was bought by Mr.Morph and his nephew, Mr. John C.Zimmerman. The lat Uer gentlemanwas for yeats the popular and success?ful proprietor of Glenn's Spring Ilesold it in 1853: since then it haschanged hands several time, until itwas bought by the present ownersThese gentlemen have shown no smallamount of energy ami ability in themanagement of the place, and, sinceGlenn's Spring has fallen into theirhands, have done much to restore itto its old standard as a popular andpleasant summer resort. Belongingthemselves to an old an influentialfamily, first rate peuple are naturallyattracted to a health resort over whichthey preside. Their genntlemanlydemeanor and honorable dealingscompel the respect of all who Sojournunder their roof. In hurrying overthe outlines of the history of our Spa,we have omitted individual sketches,without which the story of the oldwatering place would be incomplete.There were ft om the (?pening sea?son of ISoi up to the war in i860,many men, frequenters of Glenn'sSpring, who made . the history ofSouth Cand?na. It? ante bellum daysthe Constitution of the State did notallow its Chief Executive during histerm of office to leave the State, andthe Governor was glad to fix for sev?eral weeks each summer, and oftenfor the whole season, his headquarters ,at Glenn's Spring. Judges, UnitedStates Senators and Representatives,congregated lhere, and some import?ant decisions of the Supreme Courtwere written nut in its precincts, andmore than one State paper of import?ance drafted in the shadow tf itswallsSlowly walking np and down thecampus, in the times of which wespeak, summer after summer, was tohe seen the tall, wasted form of Chan?cellor Harper, the beautiful integrityof whose private life adorned the officewhich he filled Every one recog?nized Judge Harper as a truly greatman. His legal opinions were quotedin English and European courts ; andit was his strong intellect that coinedfrom the inalienable sovereignty ofthe States, the doctrine of the right ofsecession. Calhoun grasped the idea,and became the earnest apostle of thenew political creed, thereby forfeitingall hope of national honors.Col. William C Preston, the silvertongued orator, was a brother-in-lawof Jiarpers's and always a strongUnion man. After leaving the United jStates Senate he was made Presidentor the South Carolina College. Ile jalways spent a part of his sammers at jGlenn's Spring He used to say. that iin spite of his oartialitv lor his native IVirginia, he was forced to admit that i... ino waters of the Old Dominion built |up his broken down nerve force asthe water of Glenn's Spring.Judges Buller, Huger, Cheves, DeSaussuie, the Johnsons, both Chan?cellor and Judge, Elmore, Seabrook,Ll ay nc, Laborde, Bart? well, Picketts,O'Neale. men of all shades of thoughtand profession, came to di ink and be jhealed. "Ah ? gentlemen ! " said Col. |Preston "Think you not Ponce de jLeon made a mistake in his bearings;had he come up higher he might havefound here the water for which hesi niched ?

The firstsummer the hotel was opened she wasthere the whole season, and came un?failingly every year afterward untilthe opening of our ci vii war. Soonafter her marriage, whilst still ayoung, pretty woman, she had a fall,from which she received internal injuries which never healed Glenn'sSpring water, whilst it could not curemade her very much mr?re comfort?able. Warm hearted and generousuatured, entering into the joys andsorrows of all around, untiring inkindness, cheerful in affliction, shewas for years the central figure at thewatering place.No one of the therapeutic effects ofthe water is more valuable than thetonic properties, that enable thesteady drinker of alcoholic liquors togive up Iiis accustomed stimulantwithout letting down his nervous sys?tem. Men wb< se condition, whenaway from the effects of the water,seems to demand the moderate use ofstimulants, can, while drinking theGlenn's Spring water, not feel at alltiie need of their toddy. It is saidthat the economy of the universe sup?plies for every curse a blessing; foreveiy poison an antidote. It is cer?tain that any man who desires to quitthe habitual use of stimulants may doso by spending a summer at Glenn'sSpring, and drinking freely of themineral water.There is quite a little village aroundthe Spring. Soon after the hotel wasbuilt in 183$, some of the stock?holders built summer houses. A storeand post-office were opened, some,persons who liked the climate tor jsummer, concluded lo become penna- jneut residents. A male academy was ?opened, and year after year therehave been now and then additions. .lu 1S50 an Episcopal church was.built, and it is a great pleasure tochurch folks to find a pretty little conPKE8BXTEB1?N CHl'??ClI AT GLEXX SPsedated horse of prayer, with semimo:, tly services, in which they mayrefresh their souls by the way.Within the the last few years thePresbyterians, too, have built a neathouse of Wwiship. which is regularly?supplied with preaching, lu the olddays, before Mies? places of playerwere built, visiting clergymen oftenpreached in the hotel pallor; it wasthere that Dr. Thoruwell, when quite!a young man, preached for the firsttime his celebrated sermon on "TheJudgment,'' knocking the candle ont Jof the caudle-stick in one of his fervid.j^st n rcs.A good string band discoursedmusic tor tin; accommodation of thcdancers.

Ile and "Marv" belongto the land of shadows.The season of 1SG0 was the mostbrilliant that Glenn's Spring everknew. There was at one time thatsummer, tabernacled in hotel cot?tages and private houses, a thousandvisitors. Driving, games and dancinggave pastime to pleasure seekers, asfreely as the si ping ran water for theinvalids. Little recked the youngand gay how many would fall in bat?tle ; how soon sorrow and suspensewas to throw a pall over the brightpanorama.Si:i3e the war, in spite of the factthat Glenn's Spring is not on a rail?road, and ha9 only a country marketto rely upon, the old resort has still agood patronage.A new feature of the place is the"Bottling House." This is estab?lished at the spring. The dem.todfor the water is steadily increasing,and it is shipped in cases of one andtwo dozen quart bottles, east andwest The water is also kept ondraught in many of the principalSouthern cities.One word in conclusion, to thosewho drink Glenn's Spring water:"Be temperate in all thing?;," may ap' ply even to water drinking. Takej one or more tumblersfull before break?fast, not more. After breakfast, ifj you are able, go the spring, sit lu the! pavilion, and drink as much as youconveniently can. During tile after?noon and night drink moderately ofthe water. At the end of three weeksfor a few days, drink less, then re?sume full rations. This advice isbased on the observation of years, bya medical man of the first order oftalent 7 and it is confirmed by twopractitioners of Spartanburg, whohave been familiar, with the effects ofthe water fi om boyhood, and have foryea-s watched its therapeutic actionfrom a scientific standpoint.Glenn Springs numbers itspatrons by the hundred inevery County in this State,and the pictures herewithpresented will be familiar tomany of our readers who haveexperienced the pleasures ofa visit tu this popular resort,so charmingly portrayed byMrs. Means.
